Graduate School Admission Results

TTPB who also got an interview: Did you actually get your interview schedule yet?

Any idea when the masters acceptance decisions for international applicants will be out? I cannot see Masters (I) accepted on the forum

TTPB: I got the reply as follow. "While most of our decisions have been made, the committee are still reviewing some applications and will hopefully finalize all decisions by late next week". Though I am not optimistic on the number of acceptance remained, there is still some chance. Keep calm and wait.

TTPB: Same buddy, very nervous here.

TTPB: I haven't heard anything either. If they respond, will you please post an update here?

What if I did not receive any updates? Also I emailed and asked this question to grad office while have not received a reply.

2.5 years of teaching experience in my undergraduate university, 2 research articles, 1 project, Secured 1st position out of 127 students. Thought I would be accepted, anyway good luck

TTPB: My interests line up with social networks. From my experience this cycle, the more interdisciplinary/'unusual' (in a good way!) a program is, the more likely interviews are to matter. For example, no straightCS programs I applied to interviewed me before being accepted. But every information science program had interviews. This is simply because the interdisciplinary/unusual programs are looking for a more niche person.

Thank you for applying to the Mechanical Engineering Department at MIT and thank you for your patience during this lengthy admissions process. Unfortunately, we are unable to admit you to our graduate program. This year we received a record number of applicants, but we were only able to admit approximately 1 in 10. As a result, we had to turn away hundreds of highly-qualified applicants. We truly wish you well in your future endeavors.

For those of you neither accepted nor rejected: There will be bulk rejections in March or later this month and few acceptances.

Not surprised, switching from Chem Eng so it was always gonna be tough.

I applied to Computational Science and Engineering PhD program with Mechanical Engineering home department. I have not yet heard back whether I've been accepted or rejected, so maybe there is still hope for acceptance. Perhaps I've been waitlisted.

Best of luck to those who have received decisions. Haven't received updates from the program yet as well, and hoping for fluid mechanics / ocean engineering

Any chance for coming PhD acceptances ?

ttp(s)b: So it was correct that rejections were handed out today for those of you who weren't accepted on the 16th. I wish you all success in your future endeavors, and please don't evaluate your rejection as a flaw in character or merit. For those of you who (like myself) have no decision as of yet, keep holding in there. Hoping for heat transfer.

TTPB: Area I had applied to was Robotics, Instrumentation and Control in Mechanical Engineering
